The main things you have to watch in these rice cereals is malt: most of the time, malt comes from barley, which is a big no-no. So, Rice Krispies are definitely *not* gluten-free. I don't know about Rice Chex, but I'm assuming they are not, as well.

Two mainstream cereals that are gluten-free (last I checked, but do always read the ingredients) are Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles. It's hard to find mainstream gluten-free cereals. I only eat Perky-Os, which are made by Enjoy Life products, and I've never had a problem with them. They are expensive, though, and sometimes hard to find.

Good luck!

Hi, Rice Chex as well as Corn Chex have malt in them. As the poster before me said, Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles are gluten free as well as Dora Cereal if you are looking for kid cereal. Sometimes my son prefers something more grown up so we tried Natures Choice corn flakes this week, very good. Also there is a company (can't remember the name) who makes are cereal that looks like Chex that is gluten free. I have found them in several health food stores. Envirokids makes several kid type cereals but they also have one that tastes pretty similar to a frosted flakes type cereal.

These are probably considered "kids cereals" - but I love EnviroKidz: Gorilla Munch and Panda Puffs. Both are gluten-free.

These are not "kids' cereals". After you pour them into the bowl they are just "cereal". Only the boxes have kiddie pictures on them. Pour them into an unlabeled plastic cannister and they'll never know.

From the health food store, I like Perky's Nutty Rice and Erewhon's Rice Twice. I also liked Heartland's Cinnamon Ceros, but have since had to eliminate legumes and it is made out of bean flour. I didn't care for Enjoy Life's granolas because they are just way, way too sweet for me.

Try Ewhorn gluten free Twice Nice rice cereal. It is good. You can get it at natural food store. They have a couple brand which have Malt, so make sure it says gluten free. Actually, I notice they now have a new box, and only the Twice Nice cereal says gluten free. The others all say wheat free (they have barley malt). So, now I guess they just have the one.

I have to order the PerkyO's from the internet. No store carries them in my area. Sometimes shopbydiet.com has them on sale.

I bought the Frosted Perky O's from the Gluten Free Source in Dillsburg, it was good. I used to eat cereal dry as a snack, so I miss apple jacks,waffle crisp, and all those other things. I have not cared for the Enjoy Life granola yet. Dora cereal is good though.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months then I start to cheat again. When I don't get immediate symptoms I get this foolish false security. I react then go back to my diet. Rinse and repeat. I suppose discipline is my real issue. I'm very tired of perusing a diagnosis. The constant gaslighting and dismissal is exhausting. Thanks for your suggestion of the autoimmune protocol. I will give it a try. Perhaps the guidelines will help me to navigate better.   Thanks again.

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...

      First of all, being able to return to foods that you have developed a sensitivity to in connection with celiac disease is not a given. You may or may not be able to do this with time. But the ability to do so seems to be connected with the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel which often takes 2-3 years in adults after attaining to consistently truly gluten free diet. But you will just have to test the waters. Experimentation with those foods is the only way. Realize also there are thresholds of tolerance. You may be able to consume those foods without issue but not as often and in lesser amounts than in your pre celiac days. So, start small and go slow.
